The 2021–22 Djibouti Premier League was the 34th season of the Djibouti Premier League, the top-tier football league in Djibouti. The season began on 22 October 2021 and ended on 23 April 2022.[1] The 20,000-capacity El Hadj Hassan Gouled Aptidon Stadium is the main venue of the league.

Arta/Solar7, captained by former FC Barcelona midfielder Alex Song, won the league for the second consecutive season.[2] The team's forward, Gabriel Dadzie, won the Golden Boot award, scoring 18 goals.[3]

The two newly promoted teams, EAD/PK 12 and Arhiba FC, were both relegated. Arhiba lost every game while EAD / PK 12 finished 9th on goal difference after a 0–1 loss to FC Dikhil in their final match.
